Hi, the bulbs from this plant came from my grandmother, who told my dad it is a Star of Bethlehem. I need to know for sure because my cat ate some of the leaves yesterday and this plant is on the toxic list! I need to know so I can tell the vet. When I Google the plant, I only see white flowering versions of this plant, but my plant has pink*flowers.
Can someone correctly identify it for me?
Thank you so much.

That looks like a lily, possibly a rain lily aka fairy lily aka* Zephyranthes, and not star of Bethlehem.* That is the problem with using common names as many plants have the same common name. I don't know how much of the leaves your cat ate, but I would think any ill effects would have shown by now.

Thank you so much, I'm relieved that it's not a Star of Bethlehem after everything I've read. I'm not finding any info on whether the rain/fairy lily is toxic to my cats or not, maybe that's a good sign. I appreciate your quick reply. Happy Thanksgiving!
